She dubbed Sundarganj, the place where the shooting took place, a “Jamaat-e-Islami dominated” area.
At a media call on Sunday a day after return from the US, she said her government neither ‘conceals’ any incident nor ‘tolerates’ wrongdoings.
Shahadat Hossain Sourav, 9, was injured when MP Liton allegedly opened fire at Gopalcharan on Friday morning.
The child’s father lodged a police complaint against Liton, the Gaibandha-1 MP and Sundarganj Upazila Awami League unit president.
